Oh come on guys it´s not just AL, this guy could make a tripple double today. I know that he has a bad day shooting, but don´t forget that he´s a 85 percent FT shooter this season. He has one of the best middle range games on this league. Yes he´s using it to lot sometimes, but normally it works. If the whole team could score 48 percent from the field and 85 percent from the line like AL, than we could be on a play-off seed.

For those of us who can't watch, would someone give a good synopsis of Burks at pg? Rep to follow good reportage.

Don't know if it's good, but here's what I saw:

1. Scoring-wise he shot twice. Once was a post up on what appeared to be a very short player (Telfair). Burks turned and made the shot very easily. Second one was a drive where he got it smacked out of his hands. Had it been Wade, it would have been an instant foul call.

2. Ball distribution he did relatively well. He made nice passes that could have been assists but both Hayward and Carroll missed open shots. He passed quite well.

3. Defensively he was very good. He can guard PGs. He was fast, aggressive, and used his size.

4. He was aggressive and went for rebounds very hard.

5. Overall it was exciting to watch and led to a +8 for him on the floor.

Before you are bitching about AL, start bitching about players like Earl Watson, he gets million paid, but scores under 2 points a night on 18 minutes a game.
